Edge has learned to import data from Chrome on every launch. Even open tabs!

Most browsers have a built-in function to import settings, bookmarks, passwords and other data from competitive applications, but Edge has taken this to a new level – it has learned to automatically import data from Chrome every time it starts. The option has been around for a while, but now it’s more flexible. It is reported by the Neowin portal.

In the latest Canary build of Edge, users can choose what types of data will be automatically transferred from Chrome: passwords, autofill settings, billing information, history, cookies, and even open tabs. Moreover, in the future, developers will add import of favorites and extensions. However, the function can be completely disabled.

Unlike some of Microsoft’s previous attempts to lure users away from competitors, this one does not seem intrusive or intrusive – on the contrary, the new idea seems very interesting, because users can literally “switch” to a new browser instantly, without wasting time setting it up.
